IU basketball

Net Worth: This month, Romeo Langford debuts at Indiana University. As the basketball program’s most hyped recruit since Cody Zeller, he’s proof that coach Archie Miller can compete with the likes of Kentucky and Duke for the nation’s best talent. But Romeo is also a 19-year-old kid. What can fans realistically expect from him and IU?

No one expected Victor Oladipo to be great. Not in high school. Not in college. Not when the Pacers acquired him. But Oladipo anticipated it. Maybe that’s because he has so much of the thing that elevates a person above predictions: Drive.
